1 The lockfile package exports a LockFile class which provides a simple API for | |
2 locking files. Unlike the Windows msvcrt.locking function, the fcntl.lockf | |
3 and flock functions, and the deprecated posixfile module, the API is | |
4 identical across both Unix (including Linux and Mac) and Windows platforms. | |
5 The lock mechanism relies on the atomic nature of the link (on Unix) and | |
6 mkdir (on Windows) system calls. An implementation based on SQLite is also | |
7 provided, more as a demonstration of the possibilities it provides than as | |
8 production-quality code. | |
9 | |
10 Note: In version 0.9 the API changed in two significant ways: | |
11 | |
12 * It changed from a module defining several classes to a package containing | |
13 several modules, each defining a single class. | |
14 | |
15 * Where classes had been named SomethingFileLock before the last two words | |
16 have been reversed, so that class is now SomethingLockFile. | |
17 | |
18 The previous module-level definitions of LinkFileLock, MkdirFileLock and | |
19 SQLiteFileLock will be retained until the 1.0 release. | |
